Here's a sneak peek from
The Vampire, The Witch
& The Werewolf: Her
Wolf Ménage:

He’d just about given up hope of finding a mate,
and she came along, off the bus, a breath of country air and innocence floating
along with her.

A group of drunken tourists, chatting loudly,
tottered on the cobblestone streets. Those who lived in the city knew the
uneven pavement didn’t mix well with high heels. A cry pierced the night as one
woman twisted her ankle, falling on the friend next to her. Just like Jana had.
They laughed, and the woman righted herself and limped onward.

The clouds parted above, and the moon peeked
through.

“Hello, my friend,” Andre said, gazing upward.

By the next full moon, he vowed to claim Jana as
his own, and run the parks together. He might not be able to give her the great
expanse of the forest, but he could give her new experiences she’d never
forget.

Lights
flashed from inside the store window as Lawrence pushed back the blinds and
looked out. Their eyes met, and an awareness passed between them. Andre lifted
his hand in acknowledgement, and the vampire nodded his head before settling
the blinds and turning off the lights. He’d known the man for at least ten
years so far, and they’d never been at odds. They possessed a mutual respect.

The Vampire, The Witch & The Werewolf: Her Wolf Ménage

She seeks adventure

What’s the use of living in a
wolf pack when one isn’t a shifter? Jana strikes out from Louisiana’s national
forest to New Orleans to find herself, only to discover more questions.

They want the same woman

The moment Jana steps into
the French Quarter, Andre pursues the naïve beauty. An artist, he senses the
hidden wolf beneath the surface, and her nature calls to him. It’s not until
she leaves that long-time friend Dominick realizes what he wants. The two alpha
weres must battle it out or learn to share to reach their happy ending.

I'm not a sore loser. I don't feel like I'm a competitive person. I like to go-with-the-flow, and encourage others. That said, after five Honorable Mentions in the #ThursThreads Flash Fiction Challenge, I kept pushing myself.

This week's prompt took me more to my darker, horror roots. The twist on the phrase could bring an ironic meaning.

Thank you to judge Cassandre Dayne, and many congrats to the HMs and all participants! Visit The Weird, The Wild, & The Wicked to check out the winners, and read my tale. Come back next Thursday to try your hand!

Special thanks to Siobhan Muir for continuing to help other writers push the creative envelope.
